Analysis
Gold Standard on Orlando The Magic have changed this series with their physical play and have a big chance to even this series at home. Orlando's young duo of Banchero and Wagner have played at a high level in this series and they just need one more guy to step up and knock down some threes. The Magic have played stellar on the defensive end, against one of the best offensive teams in the NBA, and the Celtics are banged up. Jrue Holiday is OUT for Game 4 and Jaylen Brown is still dealing with a knee injury. Jayson Tatum was able to shake off his wrist injury but that will be something to watch as well. The Celtic's bread and butter has been taking and making a lot of threes and they have not been able to do that consistently in this series. Kristaps Porzingis has been a non-factor and liability defensively, and I expect this to be another very close game. Take the Magic to cover the spread at home.
